Principal’s Message

Welcome to our new staff members Cardiff North Public School would like to extend a warm welcome to the new staff members who have joined us in the last week. Ms Natalie Gardiner is our new School Learning and Support Officer. She will work alongside Mr Armstrong and Mrs Sneddon to help support our students and teachers.

We also welcome Mrs Irene Kuba, our new Instructional Leader. She will work with our Interventionist, Mrs Lindsay, to provide targeted teacher professional learning and tiered interventions for our students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Both new staff members have settled in well with our staff and students and they look forward to meeting our parent community at our Wellbeing Launch Day tomorrow.

Wellbeing Launch Day - tomorrow! As mentioned in the previous few Bulletins, Cardiff North Public School invites you all to join us for our Wellbeing Launch Day tomorrow. Please see the flyer attached to this Bulletin for further information.

Kindergarten Orientation Information Session - 6pm tonight in the Library

We are looking forward to our first Kindergarten Orientation session to be held in the Library tonight. This session will give 2020 Kindergarten parents an opportunity to meet with our staff and learn about the programs we offer our students. Please see the flyer attached to this Bulletin for further information regarding the future Kindergarten Orientation sessions.

Book Week next week Our Book Week flyer is attached to this Bulletin. Please come along and join us to see our students dressed up as their favourite book character or Superhero.

MEDICAL ALERT

Please be aware that several of our students have

recently been unwell and have confirmed cases of

Influenza A. They have been kept home during their

period of illness. Please remember to keep your

children at home if they are unwell and seek

medical attention as required.

Zone Athletics Carnival

The official results are in from this year's Zone

Athletics Carnival and in a very close call, Wallsend

South was the winning school and Cardiff North

was the winner of the Small Schools Handicap.

I am very proud to say this is the second year in a

row we have won the handicap. The handicap is a

point system that is used to even the field across

the 17 schools in our zone taking into account the

number of students in the school ( we are one of

the smallest). Also, a special mention to Asamoah

for breaking the existing Zone record for the Senior

1500m with a time of 5.27.96m.
